Notes
Contains 11,013 species of which 300 are Australian species, 116 of them sourced from Flinder's circumnavigation of Australia, 1801-1803, in the Investigator. The catalogue gives brief descriptions in Latin according to the Linnean style, not only of plants grown at Kew but also of almost all the species then cultivated in England. In addition it records the native country of each species, date of introduction and by whom introduced.
